***The Official Battlefield 4 Thread***

Not quite Sonny. Long story short it would seem as if when you've killed an opponent, their hitbox is still "standing up", so to speak. Hence anyone/thing directly behind that hitbox can't be damaged unless you move around the phantom hitbox.

Would explain a lot...such a shame. BF4 is still my go-to game, and probably will continue to be so, they got so much right in the game, let down with constant crap and oversights like this death-shield rubbish.

oh right, cheers for clearing it up, you would think though that even if a person is in front of another (still alive) and he gets shot by a tank the round would go right through them and kill everyone behind him too?

same goes for powerful guns like LMG's or snipers where the bullet would easily pass straight through the body and hit anyone behind them.

I hope the development team know about this and are trying to fix it, but going by their track history I wouldn't be surprised if it remains in the game for a while or forever.

That death shield is an odd thing, I don't believe I've come across that in game before and can recall killing people whom were all running in a straight line a few times..

I'll keep an eye out, but kind of annoying if indeed that is the case.

I had 3 guys the other day all spawning on each each other and I was behind them all, I managed to get 2 of them but the third was like superman and he just turned around and shot me, so it does explain things like that.

Complete BS.

Yeah it doesn't happen every time but I've had it both ways plenty. Sometimes I get 2-3 kills in a line quickly and other times bullets just stop doing damage.


I often find it an issue when people spawn. There is sometimes a good 3 seconds before my bullets do any damage to them. I have died plenty times shooting someone, then just before they die someone else spawns on them so I start shooting them but nothing happens.



In defence of the game though I still find the issues to be small and since a 4 week break Im finding I care a lot less about silly deaths and just try to enjoy myself more. Given the hours put in, the amount of problems isn't that large (other than rubber banding but we just play Rush and it doesn't happen on that)
 
Yeah to me all the non lag issues don't detract from the fun because they are not constant. When the game runs smooth, I barely even notice, nor care about some of the other issues that crop up.

When it's lagging, it's just too frustrating to play so If I can't find a good, smooth server after a few attempts these days I go do something else.
 
Seem to be noticing the dead guys hitbox a bit now, maybe because it's been brought to my attention or maybe I'm just getting more chances of double kills but not actually getting both.

Does anyone know how many game mode service stars you get xp for? I've got 153 for conquest and know I stopped getting xp quite a while ago on them. I started playing rush not long ago and have 18 stars so far, not sure how many more I get xp for but i'll be changing to another mode when they stop to try keep my levelling at its current pace. can't believe how many hours I wasted sniping/camping when I first started playing.
 
Do you deff not get the XP?
reason I ask is I regularly get '0' Xp for ribbons and the like according to the end of round screen when they pop up but I know it is adding it to my total as I checked a few times.

I think you get the Rush one for planting an MCOM which would explain why I get MVP but no Rush Service Star when my mates do get one. I always seem to get a 95% plant then die! lol
 
no I don't get any xp for a service star in conquest, it doesn't actually pop up anymore to say I've earnt one but I have 153 in battlelog. you get a star for (I think) 20k xp in conquest.
Still getting the xp bonus for a rush service star though.
 
Good to know then, hadn't realised it stopped adding XP.
Have been jumping around all game modes so won't have loads of 1.




OCUK fancy teaming up for some SDM again?
I asked a while back and we had a fun night so thought as it's bank hol weekend and I have plenty possible drinking nights that I'd see about doing it again.

I have plans with mates on Sat night to head out but I'm off Thurs-Mon so can do it Thursday, Friday or Sunday night if anyone is up for it?

Coming from Xbox One to PS4 has been a massive change; it literally feels like the bullets do less damage and the aim assist isn't even present! Can't explain it, just feels like a totally different game to that of the Xbox One! I'm sure I'll get use to it nevertheless.
 
Well it was on as a pre-set for my nephew who had a go, but it simply wasn't working. To be fair however why not use it? Others will be so why give someone an advantage over you simply to say 'oh I'm more skilled'? ;)
 
I don't find the aim assist on xbox one that much of a help tbh.

Some people make out like its an aimbot, in reality its nothing of the sort and just gently shoves you in the direction of a person who runs across your field of view. It won't track a target for you, just point you in the direction the person went.

I think it can put you at a disadvantage because it will 'kind of' point you towards a target but not exactly then you have to adjust slightly to go for headshots etc. I find it quicker just aiming myself and not having to fight against the aim assist.

But then I played 200 hours on BF3 without it so when I had it on on BF4 I was struggling a lot so could be just me not being used to it.

Could be good for shotguns though in tight spaces and if so, that would explain why I regularly die when using them and others just seem to kill me easily.
